Prominence Sum Leaders
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:00 pm
Since some of the stats here seem to drive behavior, I thought I'd try to balance quantity stats with some quality stats. I've been so focused on quantity stats that some of the stats derived penalize people who go after isolated or especially prominent peaks where combinations aren't feasible. I thought of total prominence as a metric in an attempt to focus on quality of peaks ascended. Of course, prominence is not indicative of the effort required (many very prominent peaks being drive-ups) or quality of the experience (views obscured by trees, bushwhacking, etc).

Some Lifetime stats (query is too big to run live without date filters):
Keep in mind mikegarratt hasn't logged any of probably thousands of repeats, and many states aren't available to fully update for members (AZ, WA, OR, CA, NV, ID, East Coast, etc.) other than 2k prominences, State HPs, or Western County HPs. Not to mention other countries...
